AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the color of feces before it exits the digestive tract, with humorous exchanges about bodily functions and medical procedures. Participants share that feces is yellow in the colon but changes color as it exits due to water loss. There is also a mention of the importance of colonoscopies for individuals over 40 to check for early signs of cancer. The conversation shifts to a reference from "Fight Club," discussing the relationship between characters Marla Singer and Tyler Durden, highlighting their crude dialogue. Additionally, there is a brief clarification about blood color, debunking the myth that it is blue before oxygenation, explaining that it appears purple in veins but is never actually blue. The tone remains light and humorous throughout.

Does anyone know what color is caca/fecis before it leaves our digestive tract and enters the anus? I thought it was so funny when my wife told me.

Sure he did, but in the book (I just read it last weekend) Marla and Tyler were constantly calling each other human waste and other classy obsenities.

As I read this you know the answer. So what is the answer? I really don't want to think about this anymore. :wink:

I will guess yellow and green.

Good guess, its yellow inside your colon but as it exits due to lack of water it changes color to what we know of it today. by the way, as we reach 40yrs old everyone should have a colonoscopy don't for early signs of cancer and its sometimes good to have your colon flushed if your doctor thinks it may be causing you to be fatigued.

Just some FYI type stuff, i found it interesting. kinda like blood. what color is it really?

it comes in shades of red from the well known blood red to a darker magenta color. the playground idea that blood is blue until it touches oxygen holds little water. it is a purpler shade in the viens that lead into the heart because the oxygen has been saturated, but at no point is it actually blue.

just FYI...
